I have a 12-year-old Golden Retriever that is mostly an outdoor dog. During the months of June and July, we let him inside at night as he is afraid of fireworks. I noticed he was favoring his front left paw for about a week. Then, on the 4th of July, I didn't get him inside fast enough, and he was pawing at the wooden gate. When he came inside, he was bleeding from two nails. I treated him with blood stopper from the pet store, but it seems to keep bleeding. I just checked on him, and it was a severe bleed. I treated the nails again, wrapped the paw, and sent him inside to his room in the house. What should I do about the continuous bleeding, and is there anything else the veterinarian should know about my dog's health?

My 70lb dog ate one chocolate chip pancake with syrup last night and today he vomited and has diarrhea. I also hear his stomach gurgling. Is he going to be okay?

My dog has severe cataracts and I am on disability. Is there anyone who can help me get his eyes, or even just one eye, fixed?

My Boston Terrier Cleo, who has Cushing's disease and is currently on 30 mg Vetoryl, had an ACTH stimulation test with pre-treatment level of 0.6 and post-treatment level of 1.6. My vet suggested reducing the dosage to 20 mg and retesting in one month. I am concerned about overtreating and want to know if I should stop the current dosage until new meds arrive, and what the appropriate testing schedule should be.

I have a Shih-tzu and a Chihuahua mix who don't like any food I get them, wet or dry. I've tried various brands, mixers, and even bits of ham in their food, but no results. What can I do to get them to eat and stop spending so much on food?
